since I had to dig a bit deeper into the nature of a Snapmaker F350 and re-assemble it a few times, a few ideas crossed my mind that could improve the users experience.
Cable management
The cable management is surprisingly poor, if I may say.
- The heat bed cable needs a solution quick as it could block the Y axis movement.
- The print/laser head cable should get sort of a guidance too, however not that urgent.
- And, this just would be nice, clips to fix the Y-module cables at the Z-pile.
I’ve made two holders but they are probably not the best looking solution (like me hahahaha). Other ideas welcome.
Filament Guide
The filament spool and the filament guidance is a bit unlucky in its position. If the print head travels back up (home position), the filement gets wrapped around the spool or the z-pile often when pushed back up.
I’ve made my own attemps here but, its not an optimal solution. I may add a self-retracting spool sooner or later.
bed screw position
The heat bed / drill bed/ laser plate are mounted on a frame. The frame is screwed from below to the y-modules. If the frame had sunken screw holes on its top side (sorry, I have no idea what the correct term for sunken screw holes in english is - countersink?), the heat beds screws could be attached from the top.
Don’t get me wrong: I like my F350 pretty well. The above mentioned - probably easy to do - things would just make it perfect.
